Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Vac-Tron Equipment, LLC is recalling certain 2015-2019 LP873SDT Heavy Vacuum Excavator dual-axle trailers because they may lack front and rear lights, including clearance lamps and reflex reflectors, and may have insufficient reflective tape on the sides and rear. These missing or inadequate lighting and reflective components make the trailers difficult to see at night, which increases the risk of crashes.

Vac-Tron will notify owners, and authorized dealers will move the marker lights to the proper position and install a lower chassis extension, conspicuity tape, and reflectors at no cost to owners. Owners of affected trailers should contact Vac-Tron customer service at 1-888-822-8766.
